Want of Discipline.

The Democratic officials have difficulty in
maintaining discipline. 1t has been reported
to the officials of the Treasury Department
that several of the bureau chiefs have re-
Gently appointed substitutes in violation Of
the Secretarv's order. Some time ago, Sec
retary Fairclild determined to put a stop to
the substitute evil. Since then he has been
gradually getting rid of those already en-
gagged, and expressly forbade the appoint
ment of others without special authority
from him. Some Of his suD0rdinates have
ignored this order, and recently several sub
stitutes for absent clerks have been appoint
Cd An investigation has been demanded
and is likely to be made. In order to make
these appointments under the present rule il
is necessary to falsify the pay-rolls by certi-
flying that the clerk for whom the substitute
is appointed is on duty.

A question was recently presented to the
Treasury Department as to the right Of for
egn steamers to take excursion parties from
Buffalo to pleasure resorts on the Canadian
shore of the Niagara river and return. In
the opinion Of the Collector there is nothing
in the law to prevent foreign steamers from
taking passengers from American ports into
foreign territory and returning with them to
the same American port, providing that no
the route. He holds, however, that a steam
er engaged in such traffic would be subject
to foreign inspection laws.

An Interview with queen KapiolanI


NEW YORK, July 12.-To reporter. VIII
called ON her at her hotel yesterday, Quee
Kapiolani said, through the medium of Mr.
Carter: have had read all the reports that
were published in the journals of this city
about affairs at home during my absence.
Some of them are falsehoods. Take, fo in
stance, the one which related that 1 went
abroad to England to negotiate loan with
the British government Mr.. Carter, as well
as myself, knows that there is not Syllable e
of Truth in that statement went to Eng
land to pay my respects to a great and good
woman, of whom, about that time, several
millions Of people were shouting praises.
l was received very kindly by Queen Victo-
ria and her people, who did all they could to
make my visit Interesting. Concerning the
reports recently published and denoting the
existence of a revolution in Hawaii, / will
say that there is no likelihood of any blood
being she'd The natives urged by some un
wise counsellors, demanded that King Kaa-
kaua should change the ministry. His abdi-
cation was never hinted at. they showed
that the change of the ministry would pro-
duce general satisfaction, and he granted the
request. do not think the people as mass
demand a new constitution. A few natives,
who desire to see the government in perpet-
ual warfare, may perhaps wish such change
but l think that the people as body ale
loyal, and will ask for nothing that would
cause general disruption. | think the
prospects for Hawaii were never better The
crisis has arrived and been met, and we shall
have no more trouble, think. The natives
would never consent to unnecessary vio-
lence. King Kalakaua has always striyen
to win their appreciation. and l do not think
he will fail at this late day.
Arrangements have been made for the de-
parture of the Queen this evening, at &C.
O'Clock. She win travel by rail to San Fran
cisco direct.

Party Principles and the Bummers

fArty I'rlnclpleS anu tno huHuiChS
The strength of the republican party is
IN its principles. in the earrcstness and
sincerity of its efforts to benefit the coun-
try and to safeguard the public interests.
Yet the mistake is sometimes made OF
Welding to the demands of the bummers as
necessary to party success. The republi-
can party Is the product of live and
thoughtful men, whose devotion to ideas
and patriotic convictions was far stronger
than the love OF place or official honors.
1t is always a mean and mistaken policy
to lower its standard or ignore its princi-
pies to please the bummers. These per-
sons often assume airs OF great impor-
lance around the caucus and the ward
room, as though the fate and direction OF
the party we're in their hands, and that fidel
ity to principles was of little account.
But earnest men. who love truth and ad.
here firmly to party faith, know we'll that
the safety and strength of their party are
in its principles. and that'the bummers
will yield to honest courage and give their
votes for candidates whose feet sand on
platform of white oak. II the party ex-
listed merely to give men the offices they
hold, it would not be worth preserving.
1t would speedily die with dry-rot. and
give place to something better. to an Or
gsnization with life. all aglow with earn
est purpose and inspiring hopes. The re-
publican party has had noble mission in
the past. and it will surely accomplish
great good in the future. win victories
worth winning, if it will sternly adhere
to Its principles and compel the good be-
havior Of the bummers.
